Chapter 190 There is no other place in the sky, the remains of a monk
After finishing the practice, Zhang Wenfeng leaned over and picked up the thorn-hooked vine seeds scattered around the mound, and said: "Senior sister, I will dive into the water and look for the bottom of the pool. There should be a passage connected to the outside world."
Yue Anyan used water magic to pull the body of the ghost-faced snake floating in the water to the edge of the mound, and said: "I will work with you, with multiple hands and multiple hands to take care of it."
The mountain badger behaved well and quickly ran forward, holding the snake's tail in its mouth and dragging it to the shore.
Zhang Wenfeng looked at the senior sister whose chest was stained with mud and asked in disbelief: "You know how to dive?"
"Yes. When I was a child, I often went to the river to fish and catch shrimps for tooth sacrifices. I also fished for water chestnuts and lotus leaves. After soaking in water, I understood the properties of water. It's not a difficult task."
Yue Anyan spoke in an understatement, bent down and touched the head of the mountain badger that had climbed up to the hem of her robe with one foot, smiling gently.
Forced by life at that time, I almost drowned in a deep puddle twice.
The fear, despair, and struggle were still fresh in her memory.
"Then let's go into the water together, and I'll be in front later. The Ghost-Faced Snake always walks alone, and since we killed it, there shouldn't be another monster in this water area."
Zhang Wenfeng agreed, tightening his belt and getting ready.
"Master, please wait a moment. It's a pity that this late-stage first-order ghost-faced snake has lost all its blood. I will extract the blood essence with water and collect it to refine special talismans."
As he spoke, Yue Anyan took out a small porcelain bottle from his cuff, dragged the three-foot-long ghost-faced snake, coiled it on the bank of the mound, and cast a spell to force the ghost-faced snake's essence and blood to drip from the wound on his lower jaw. After a while, the small bottle was filled.
Zhang Wenfeng took out a large bottle six inches high and as thick as a fist from the black cloth bag and handed it to Yue Anyan.
Yue Anyan took the bottle, glanced sideways with a smile, and saw that the black cloth bag of the conservator was a bottomless pit, and he could take out anything without breaking it, so he continued to cast spells.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the entire monster snake's essence and blood were squeezed out, and the big bottle was 80% full.
The donkey put his mouth close to the entrance of the cave and shouted through the sound: "Master Guan, take Lu Huan into the water and let him see the world. He is very good at finding a way out..."
Zhang Wenfeng scolded through the voice: "Noise, let it guard the spiritual plant."
"Master, do you think that Lu Huan would not steal the spiritual fruit while guarding it alone?"
"...It's the son's fault if he doesn't teach his father well. I'll deal with you later."
"I taught you, but sometimes it doesn't listen."
The donkey laughed at the entrance of the cave and said "Ah uh... ah uh". The cave was filled with noisy echoes, which made it very uncomfortable. It knew that the owner of the cave had agreed to Lu Huan's search for treasures in the water.
After plugging the two bottles tightly into a black cloth bag, Zhang Wenfeng took the lead in getting into the water.
His body was covered with a layer of shimmering green light, which illuminated the water and made him dive slowly.
Yue Anyan told the donkey outside the cave to follow her into the water. She learned the water method. There was a layer of water ripples rippling on her skin. She was more relaxed and comfortable in the water than the viewer. The mountain badger swam beside her, circling around for a long time. It's flexible.
As the depth of the dive exceeded five feet, it was pitch black below the pool, and Zhang Wenfeng's eyesight and consciousness could not reach very far.
A wisp of green-white flame appeared on the tip of his left finger, and a little light allowed the two of them to see the direction clearly.
The wood fire controls the temperature and does not go out in the water, which is very magical.
Yue Anyan pointed to the lower right, and she noticed a slight surge of water.
Zhang Wenfeng turned to dive, and sure enough he found a black rock crack, about ten feet in size. The water in the pool was almost at the bottom, and undulations of silt could be vaguely seen below.
There is a half-foot-long silver-white thin barracuda swimming back and forth from the dark passage.
As the green light approaches, the fish quickly flick their tails and escape.
Zhang Wenfeng signaled, holding the sword in his right hand, he followed the fish and dived into the crack.
With his cultivation level, he could hold his breath in the water for two quarters of an hour without any problem. He had to estimate the time. If he didn't find an exit under the water for more than half a quarter of an hour, he had to return quickly with one person and one badger to prevent an accident.
.
The crack passage is winding and narrow in some places, requiring both hands and feet to climb through.
After diving for more than twenty feet, the passage began to go upwards, and then entered a large deep pool. There was a faint light above, and it floated up several feet. There was a "crash" sound, and two people and a badger emerged from the water.
It is a suspended rock cave, with light projected diagonally upward ten feet high, making the cave less dark.
Yue Anyan pointed outside and said, "The water pool is connected to the outside."
She sensed the fish swimming away through the water method.
She can easily distinguish between living pools and stagnant pools.
Zhang Wenfeng's spiritual consciousness detected the opening of the rock cave like a skylight above. Seeing the scene of heavy snow outside, he smiled and said: "The exit is above." Immediately, his spiritual consciousness discovered that the cave was connected to a stone hall, and said: "This place should be a number."
Let’s go up and explore the ruins of monks from a hundred years ago, hoping to find something.”
Even if the floor of the stone hall is covered with dry moss, traces of artificial excavation can still be seen.
Combined with the strange stone-like tree spirit plants found in the previous cave, it is very likely that this place is the ruins of monks.
Yue Anyan's eyes were bright, and when he came out with the temple owner, he was full of surprises.
No wonder the classics record that most monks like to travel around. If they don’t go out and move around, how can they encounter opportunities?
The benefits of being delivered to your doorstep like the Silver Threaded Knife Beetle and the Yes Man are, after all, luck.
“The spectator please come first!”
Yue Anyan said politely, smoothed the dripping hair sticking to his face with his hands, and jumped from the water to the shore.
Zhang Wenfeng glanced at Yue Anyan, who had wet clothes sticking to his body, and then turned sideways and did a little exercise. The water misted his body, and he leaned over and rubbed the mountain badger's head, which was vigorously shaking the water. This guy was not bad at water.
"The ghost-faced snake's lair is here. No wonder we made so much noise there. It took a while before it rushed over."
Zhang Wenfeng pointed to the high corner of the cave and said that there was a cave about ten feet deep. The ground formed a smooth stone nest with some bones of humans and animals outside.
The cave was filled with the smell of snakes and water moisture, which was not pleasant.
The mountain badger ran around in a circle, snorted twice, and then ran towards other bumpy and rocky areas. Soon he found that there was a slope to go up around the corner. He turned back and barked twice, urging the two people following him to hurry up.
, you should run up the slope first.
The two of them walked onto the platform. Yue Anyan's robe was already dry. She smelled the fresh cold wind blowing in from the entrance of the cave. She walked out of the cave entrance passage at the height of the person and looked outside. There was sparse water flowing from above, and rocks were falling.
There were ice skates on the top, and he said: "There is a pool below, and here is a waterfall. There are rocks above and below to cover it, so it is quite hidden."
Zhang Wenfeng had already seen the scene outside with his spiritual consciousness. He walked towards the stone hall on the side and saw the mountain badger turning around in the small stone hall and scratching at the wall with his claws. Water ripples appeared on the uneven stone wall.
, hurriedly greeted: "There is a layer of water wave restriction opposite the stone hall. Behind the restriction, it should be the monk's hidden cultivation ground."
The mountain badger breaks into the confinement.
The water rippled, revealing the shape of a narrow portal four feet wide.
Zhang Wenfeng shook his head. The little guy had been obedient for a while, and then started to behave uncontrollably.
How can you just wander in?
Yue Anyan heard the sound and walked over from the entrance of the cave. After checking for a while, the water ripples slowly returned to their original shape and became part of the stone wall. He used his spiritual eyes to identify it. He was so close that he could not see any clues.
She stretched out a slender finger, poured some Yuan Qi into it and lightly tapped it on the stone wall. The water waves reappeared and said: "This is the 'Yuan Shui Xing Forbidden Formation', which was a relatively popular restraint technique more than five hundred years ago."
She learned a lot of knowledge about cultivation from Yun Qiuhe, especially about water magic formations.
After careful identification and testing several times, Yue Anyan smiled and said:
"As long as the water in the pool below dries up, this protective barrier will not disappear. After a long time, the forbidden array has lost most of its functions, leaving only the basic concealment to block mortal effects, and the illusion and trapping effects have been completely wiped out.
, otherwise Lu Huan won’t be able to break in and will hit the wall.”
She took the lead to move towards the flat water waves, and the ripples were rippling, which looked very magical.
Zhang Wenfeng followed him in and almost bumped into the back of Yue Anyan who suddenly stopped and refused to walk away.
He quickly ducked to the side.
A thought suddenly appeared in my mind. Could it be that the ghost-faced snake was guarding this restricted secret room?
